* [differences between cumulative patch application and perl5.004_01]perl-5.004_01Tim Bunce1997-06-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | [editor's note: The changes between this and 5.004 were processed from the m1t2 release, which was a bad idea as it was the _01 release which had the final corrected attributions. The differences between the various m*t* releases do that; I considered it most valuable just to look at the _NN releases. Many patches have been separated out and/or applied from the p5p archives nonetheless.]

Unfortunately the <sys/time.h> include file is included in the TCP/IP runtime while libsocket.a is in the development system. This means that pp.c decides to use "gettimeofday" because <sys/time.h> is present but I can't link the perl that gets compiled. So, here's a patch to base the use of "gettimeofday" on "HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY" instead of "I_SYS_TIME". I also took the liberty of removing the special case for plan9 (I assume plan9 has <sys/time.h> but no gettimeofday. Am I right?). p5p-msgid: <01BBE77A.F6F37F80@malvinas.AtlanTech.COM> Subject: Make $startperl a relative path if people want portable scrip From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: Configure Subject: Homogenize use of "eval exec" hack From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: Porting/Glossary eg/README eg/nih eg/sysvipc/ipcmsg eg/sysvipc/ipcsem eg/sysvipc/ipcshm lib/diagnostics.pm makeaperl.SH pod/checkpods.PL pod/perlrun.pod pod/pod2html.PL pod/pod2latex.PL pod/pod2man.PL pod/pod2text.PL utils/c2ph.PL utils/h2ph.PL utils/h2xs.PL utils/perlbug.PL utils/perldoc.PL utils/pl2pm.PL x2p/a2py.c x2p/find2perl.PL x2p/s2p.PL Subject: LynxOS support Date: Thu, 12 Dec 1996 09:25:00 PST From: Greg Seibert <seibert@Lynx.COM> Files: Configure MANIFEST hints/lynxos.sh t/op/stat.t Msg-ID: <m0vYEsY-0000IZC@kzinti.lynx.com> (applied based on p5p patch as commit 6693373533b15e559fd8f0f1877e5e6ec15483cc) Subject: Re: db-recno.t failures with _11 on Freebsd 2.1-stable Date: 11 Dec 1996 18:58:56 -0500 From: Roderick Schertler <roderick@gate.net> Files: INSTALL hints/freebsd.sh Msg-ID: <pzohg0r5tr.fsf@eeyore.ibcinc.com> (applied based on p5p patch as commit 10e40321ee752c58e3407b204c74c8049894cb51) Subject: VMS patches to 5.003_11 Date: Mon, 09 Dec 1996 23:16:10 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Bailey <bailey@HMIVAX.HUMGEN.UPENN.EDU> Files: MANIFEST regexec.c t/lib/filehand.t util.c vms/* private-msgid: <01ICTR32LCZG001A1D@hmivax.humgen.upenn.edu> TESTING Subject: recurse recurse recurse ...

If you're adventurous, have a look at ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/outgoing/perl5.0/perl5.002beta1.tar.gz Many thanks to Andy for doing the integration. Obviously, if you consult the bugs database, you'll note there are still plenty of buglets that need fixing, and several enhancements that I've intended to put in still haven't made it in (Hi, Tim and Ilya). But I think it'll be pretty stable. And you can start to fiddle around with prototypes (which are, of course, still totally undocumented). Packrats, don't worry too much about readvertising this widely. Nowadays we're on a T1 here, so our bandwidth is okay. Have the appropriate amount of jollity. Larry
